Greetings from the Family Medicine Residency Program at Harbor-UCLA.

We are a program that stands united in the belief that health care is a right, not a privilege. As such, our residents and faculty are committed to not only our primary care clinic patients, but also meeting the health needs of our community, and addressing the barriers that impact their quality of life in order to promote an equitable society.

Our curriculum is forged so that residents work with and empower our most marginalized patients, whose major impediments to primary care not only lack of financial resources and insurance, but the social and structural determinants of health. Our training sites are a living classroom, where our residents learn the skills needed to become excellent clinicians while working in medically underserved multicultural communities. Here, you will receive training in chronic care delivery, treatment of acute exacerbation of chronic conditions, procedural training, as well as community based participatory curriculum in order to meet the needs of the community.

Our goal is to recruit trainees who have a passion for primary care and health equity and provide them the skills and tools needed to be excellent physicians, as well as community advocates and partners.

Sincerely,

Karen Olmos, MD, MPH (she/her/hers/ella)
Program Director

Sarah Nazarkhan, MD (she/her/ella)
Associate Program Director

Bernadette Pendergraph, MD (she/her/hers)
Associate Program Director
